I disagree I think you got the speed right and most people don’t pay attention to these things in real life

The immediate loss of momentum when they land is the part that feels uncanny. Especially when combined with the feather-light roll down the initial slope, it feels like the density and friction of the balls is constantly changing.

Yeah they need a tiny bounce to pull off realism. But it's still super satisfying to watch regardless

I actually thought the balls were heavy when looking at the initial roll at top, which would lack much of a bounce as they fell down.

Heavy objects with momentum don't just stop when they hit an object. There's like a physics law about energy or something like that. The point is if the ball had a heavy mass then the moment and the weight would be enough for a tiny bounce. Not like a giant hop but enough that there would be something.

That’s just what I noticed. There outfit to be a slight bounce, depending on what ‘material’ the green part is made of. Looks like jade or plastic to me, so I’d assume it’s hard enough to bounce. Makes my brain hurt.
